Answer:

Viruses are composed of one or more cells.

Explanation:

Virus is an organism that is incapable of replicating on its own, hence, it needs to infect a living host to perform this task. According to the question, living organisms exhibits certain characteristics that confirms the possession of life in them. Virus is a set of organism that exhibits some of these characteristics but not all.

Virus is an organism with a genetic material surrounded by a protein coat called CAPSID. Viruses are not composed of cells like other living organisms do. They do not possess the organnelles that makes up a cell in order for it to function. Even in a host cell, viruses do not perform this functions, they only replicate their genetic material in their host. Hence, due to this reason, viruses are not considered living things.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Simple cuboidal epithelia are found in areas that stretch.

Explanation:

The simple cuboidal epithelium consists of a single layer of cuboid cells with a centrally located nucleus. The cells of this epithelial tissue are mostly involved in secretion and absorption and therefore, are found in the lining of ovaries, lining of kidney tubules and gland ducts.

Transitional epithelium is like a stratified cuboidal epithelium when not stretched. Its cells become flatter when the tissue is stretched. It has multiple cell layers and elasticity and therefore, is found in the lining of the urinary bladder and parts of ureter and urethra to allow stretching of these organs.
